Emirates to aid Australian exports
Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates, will be dealing with the Australian government to facilitate exports of Australian produce to overseas markets including the Middle East.
The air cargo carrier will take part in the Australian government’s International Freight Assistance Mechanism that will directly support Australian exporters by strengthening supply chains between Australia and its own export markets. Over 560 Australian businesses have already registered to utilise the International Freight Assistance Mechanism.
"We are serving Sydney with four weekly flights on our Boeing 777 freighter aircraft and Melbourne with five weekly flights on our Boeing 777-300ER passenger aircraft. We are focused on supporting Australian farms and businesses and helping transport vital food supplies to key global markets," said Nabil Sultan, Divisional Senior Vice President, Cargo, Emirates.
Emirates SkyCargo is currently operating scheduled cargo flights on its Boeing 777-F and Boeing 777-300 ER passenger aircraft to near 60 global destinations. The air cargo carrier has helped transport essential medical supplies to various areas of the world including to Australia on both its scheduled flights aswell as on special charter flights.
